RAPID CITY, S.D. – Several South Dakota communities and tribal governments are receiving more than $6.6 million in federal funding for infrastructure improvements, disaster recovery and future resilience projects.
The funding comes through FEMA’s Public Assistance and Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities programs.
Rapid City will receive nearly $1.9 million to update fire codes and modernize planning, permitting, engineering and inspection systems.
Walworth County is receiving more than $2.4 million for the next phase of the Mobridge Resilient Systems Project, which includes upgrades to water intake pipelines, pumping equipment and control systems.
Additional funding includes more than $1.4 million for storm and flood-related embankment repairs in Madison, and more than $770,000 for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe to repair roads and embankments damaged by severe winter storms and flooding.
FEMA says the projects are designed to help communities recover from past disasters while strengthening infrastructure against future emergencies.
